Peppi

Comes from 'UK' acetate

Stories

PEPPI Stories (1962 UK single sided 7" metal based high grade methyl cellulose lacquer acetate for the A-side of the single release [F11520] produced by Tony Meehan, with hand annotated Decca Group custom labels in plain die cut paper sleeve. Very few of these are ever produced, mostly for in-studio sonic reference, so seldom leave the studio or are destroyed once the final master is approved. Being so fragile & over fifty years old, this acetate can only realistically be described asVG-/VG and displays a fair amount of surface noise throughout, although it plays without fault. An acceptable copy at an advantageous price)

Tracklisting & More Information

An acetate is normally a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record but were occasionally used for a songwriter to convey a song idea to a band or person.

Originally acetates were used for home recording in the days before tape recorders, but since the advent of cassette tape & CDR are now no longer used for providing bands & their entourage copies of today's studio efforts. A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe.

The acetate is used to assess whether the music has been successfully transferred to disc. It is checked by the sound engineer. There may be only one copy made of a particular recording, sometimes more are cut and sent to the studio and band members for approval.

The acetate comes before making the master, and allows the sound to be checked without great expense.

It is unusual for more than a dozen to be manufactured, so from the collector's point of view an acetate is a rare find indeed! If the recording is rejected the acetate may be the only record that survives. The rejected cut may simply be poor quality, however the artist may have opted to use a different take of the song, if so, the acetate becomes much more precious.

An incredible find & certainly one of only a handful that would have been produced.
